the my name is melissa chant, thanks for joining us. india is demanding the withdrawal of canadian diplomats. that's according to a report in the financial times. the report also says daily is threatening to revoke diplomatic immunity for any canadian staffers who failed to leave the country by october 10th. ties between the 2 nations have fallen apart over the murder of 6, separatists leader. hardy, seeing the jar, a canadian citizen, the indian government calls a terrorist earlier this month. canada's prime minister justin true, don't anger deli, by publicly accusing indian government agents for the killing. his yard was shot dead by masked gunman outside a sick temple near vancouver. in june, daily denied any involvement dismissing canada's allegations as ridiculous.
3:18 pm
india had earlier retaliated by issuing a travel warning for what it calls, growing anti india activities in canada. it also stopped issuing visas to canadian citizens. this latest expulsion of more than 40 diplomats would it be a major escalation in the stand off? many in canada as large see could community have voice support for true though, taking a tough stance against india. but with the anger are also fears over safety. dw spoke to 6 in toronto, we feed safe in this country, $1000.00 families are safe. so that slaves all of those living in the neighborhood best for this country to because of safe for oversight community for the countries can survive without each other. like not even india and not even canada. so i guess everything's going to be good. so right now or watching the income or did to the how deep secretary so really like attracting for us to seek leaders in the
3:19 pm
community. like the, the, or likes, care know indian government might hire someone to give you. right. the more 6 live in canada than anywhere in the world outside the northern indian state of punjab. 770000 strong. a small handful of the community supports a movement for an independent state of collis drawn, carved out from india. the vast majority of the diaspora rejects the movement. the diplomatic fall off has many canadian seeks far more worried about the impact it will have for them in canada and over in south asia. the same goes 6 in punjab are likewise worried about the effect. this will have on them as dw d o bot reports anger on the streets of ribs or in north western india. these activists of protesting the king go 6 separate this
3:20 pm
leader, how deep signature they see the indian government part of the murder in canada. and raised prime minister to for exposing the legend enrollment. they denied such claims for the activists in assist the sick leader and was assassinated. the organizer of the protest belongs to a group pushing for a separate sick homeland, also known as carly stone. he sees the beginning of the sick leader in canada, really have repercussions of the thing that gives us as soon as this is no use estimation of how deep signature alone hold on for that. that's where you use assassination. the indian state is instilling fee to the minds of the younger generation that supports the close of callous then then there is a separate,
3:21 pm
it does explain. i've got the heck of off being modern, it's on it, but i guess i'll wait from the demonstration in the city sent a few of you to share this sentiment to the majority. do not support the idea of a separate 16 or college son who causes nobody, demands callous. then people just want good jobs, a bit of life and a good system. people are happy yet. but pensions for the killings are being felt in other areas of maritza. many young people are hoping to go to canada to book the come to courting centers like this one to improve good english. but the friction between india and canada has left so anxious about the future. okay, get on a lot of uses. if canada stops, giving visas to indian students will have to start from scratch. i mean, we've made investments and also paid fees for education, so much as being invested. everything will be ruined and we'll have to start all
3:22 pm
over again. this is vito, thanks for that number data and did an audit jenny and just as a bookseller informant, call this done support done because i've seen explains he feels the growing get tension in india and wants to separate them. could be used to discriminate against the group. he sees people are not interested in independence but to help other concerns. the situation and for job at the moment is very critical to people for job are ready to be problems like unemployment and many other issues. so i think that call us on woman has no relevance at this point to find what concerns. i mean that the renewed attention on call this done would make 6 talk, gets politicians intent on stalking wides. put political gains are joining us is changed budge pace,
3:23 pm
senior research fellow for south asia at chat townhouse. thanks for coming on the program. it seems that the assassination of hardy seeing the jar has had the opposite effect of what the murders and candid and now there's global attention to a previously largely unknown and, and very small separatist movement. talk about things backfiring here. well, you know, the color's done. separatist movement was rooted and media instead of been job peach back in the 1980s, early 19 ninety's. it's been fueled by local grievances, but also by, by support from pockets. time we've seen a revival of sorts in recent years. fuel by next us with organized crime and drug smuggling and combined with economic change challenges in the state of punjab. but it's nowhere near where it was said 3 decades ago. and the college study movement is arguably stronger outside india than it is within the country today. why do you
3:24 pm
think delhi is escalating things with this latest diplomatic move against canada? so i think, and what we have seen is, you know, the, you know, the relationship is on a downward spiral within a tit for tat escalation by the end of the canadian. and they need governments. the latest development is the india is demanding the canada scale down its diplomatic presence. but to see, i think what's surprising is to see such a public spot between 2 countries that are not adversaries. so until recently, canada in india been pursuing evening relations. we have so of course seen similar tensions between canada and china for instance in the past. but here are 2 countries that are both democracies. they're both claimed to be responsible, global powers. they're both advocates of the rules based international order. and they're both close partners with the united states and i think that's what makes this a particularly difficult situation. and in terms of, you know, your question, i think it is indicative of india pursuing a more, a sort of muscular foreign policy. so it's
3:25 pm
a country that's showing itself to be more prone to taking offense to actions that challenge it. so i'm going to be in status and more prone to taking retaliation. such actions to what extent, as modi, unable to navigate this as flexibly as, as administration, might like because of what you've just alluded to indian nationalism, which is a relatively something he's helped foster. well, i think it's important to know the domestically, there's been a high level of consensus, an indian public opinion and across the political divide in support of the government's position. so there's, there's been sort of a rally around the flag effect. and if you contracted with a canada were to do is facing declining approval, really ratings and to those actions that receive less universal support. then i think this clearly needs to be put in the context of next year's general election and movies likely to use this incident with canada. and india is g 20 presidency to show that india has a more sort of muscular foreign policy. and it's true,
3:26 pm
those accusations are true and on the one hand, as you mentioned, there were a lot of incentives for canada to improve relations with india. so one would think that the canadian leader would not be lying about this is frankly, this entire situation is given him only a world of headache. so it's clear that he believes and extra judicial towing has taken place and his largely peaceful country. is there any way then out for india and canada in terms of moving beyond this diplomatic rift and, and does either really want to so i think there has been some initial signs of, of, of you know, attempts to try to deescalate tension near truth. trudel recently made a statement saying that he wants closer ties within. yeah, you refer to india as a growing economic power. an important geo political player has an india of course, this is a core component of canada's in the pacific strategy which was gonna be a last year. so there are some attempts at least that indicate as trying to find an
3:27 pm
offer and ongoing tensions. but as of now, i think it is a very difficult situation. both sides claim to have the upper hand that they claim the other side as diplomatic. we isolated both sides claims that they have the moral high ground. and so canada is of course, accusing agents of indian government to involve be involved in the killing of a canadian national, a canadian swell, while india is a choosing canada of becoming a safe haven for terrorism extremism and an organized crime. and that, i think, yeah, i think for the foreseeable future, we're not seeing any, you know, clear offer arms or attempts to try and de escalate tensions. or this dispute is happening, as you say, in the context of a number of democracies making overtures to india, particularly the united states, as a 6 to build alliances in the, in the pacific as a hedge against china. so, um, can you talk a little bit more about how this killing on canadian soil, how it's impacting these uh, greater and bigger great power dynamics. so i mean it's,
3:28 pm
it's, it's a interesting with you mentioned to us the us has invested a lot of political capital in its relationship with india. and we saw the red carpet welcome. that prime minister movie received in washington in june. we've seen growing engagement between both country and this comes in the context of india is growing strategic importance and so within the last year it's past the u. k. in terms of gdp, it's past china in terms of population. it's seen as a bulwark against the rise of china. and washington clearly doesn't want to jeopardize the time and energy that it's invested in the relationship with india. which is why i think we've seen a relatively noted or re screen response by maybe us and other countries. but i think, you know, if, if an indian link is definitively established, i think that would put these countries in a very difficult position. for instance, for us as you know, don't play concerns about india's human rights record and allegations of democratic backsliding. it may be more, you know,
3:29 pm
forced to more openly acknowledge these concerns to touch base please. thank you so much for joining us. i think that's it for the program. as always you can catch us on social media and on our website w dot com, forward slash asia. my name is melissa chance. thanks for watching and we'll see you tomorrow. the leave and equitable wants to become one of the global leaders in the transition to clean energy, and every one is expected to reap the benefits. that's where i for needs to be innovative projects create a new job. well, generally, quality is titled with a fresh perspective eco india. next on
